Canteen’s owner of Mahallah Ali Ibn Abi Talib faced difficulties with residents whom smoke at the canteen area. Their ignorance caused the operator to close the canteen early at night last semester due to the order from IIUM’s authority.

The open area or also being known as ‘maple’ among the residents from other male residential colleges is a place where all the students who stay late to buy variety of foods at night. Maple opened to all students until three o’clock in the morning.

Until now, they are still using that place to do their unhealthy job and their actions have given a great burden to the canteen’s owner to continue his business operation. To all residents whom spot the smokers, please advice them to stop. Their attitude caused difficulties to other residents.
